Practical
Models for Implementing Online Software in Your Program (page

Thanks to the internet, students can
access software that is available to them anywhere, anytime,
without being tied down to a language lab. But how do you integrate
online software into your curriculum? This article describes four
models that may work for the students and teachers in your program.
There is no "one right way" to integrate
online learning into a language curriculum. The different models used
at different schools fall along a continuum based on the needs of their
students and the goals of their program.
Before you choose how to integrate online
software into your language program, ask yourself a few questions.
- How much time do you want students to
spend with the online course?
- How actively will you use the Learning
Management System (LMS) to customize your course?
- Will you make any changes to the content
you teach in the face-to-face classroom?
- Will you reduce the number of hours that
students spend in the face-to-face classroom?
The answers to these questions will help you decide where your program
should fall along the continuum.
